One thing that strikes me in the Midwest is the open expanse of sky. In Colorado, we saw a lot of sky, but it was rimmed with the 14,000-foot Rockies that surrounded our 7,100-ft. valley. Here in this part of south-central Minnesota, there is a lot of sky to play with in photographs. I think this will be an on-going theme in some of my images. Took the camera out today on a shopping trip and found this sign on a rural road as the overcast sky began to clear. Though far from being original, this image illustrates the concept of everyday objects or people placed in the context of open sky as a graphic element. I used simple fill flash from the built-in flash to add some "pop" to the sign as I metered to keep the detail in the sky.
I've been a photographer since before high school and have had a camera in my hand at one time or another professionally for the past 35 years. I'm currently establishing freelance accounts in the Midwest. I am available for special events, action adventure sports, and Agriculture and farming news and feature coverage, as well as non-traditional portraiture, specializing in athletes, artists and musicians. I also specialize in railroad and industrial-type photography. Please visit my website. www.josephkreissphotography.com.
